No worries, I wouldn't mind a front panel and a groundsheet off you possibly 👍

Hi Elmo,
Just had a quick look at the Bivvy,
There's -
2 Zip Bivvy Bags, 2 Full Skins, 2 Full Fronts with all Doors, but Only 1 Groundsheet.
So (eventually) i will swap the older Bivvy Skin and Full front for the New Skin and Front, so there will be a Spare Skin, Full Front and Bivvy Bag.
Ooooo and also found these in the Bivvy wrapped up.
Should I be a good mate and let him know ? Or should I think they were in the Bundle 🤔🤔🤔🫣🫣🫣

Has no one had a fish yet this year??
28 minutes ago, Carpbell3 said:Ain't even been out since last summer hoping to get plenty done this year at leat once a month from February onwards, going for broke, looking for a water with 40 to 50 lb fish, bluebells seems the best option for me.
I'm hoping a few day sessions in the coming weeks, next week looks cold, but sunny weather, with myself n wife car sharing its abit hard at moment.
But I'm hoping tonsort all my gear next week while on the afternoon shift, replace the Sonik AXS Bivvy Skin.
I've not renewed my club water ticket this year, I'm going to be targeting 2 local Park Lakes more this year, very pressured waters, but have some lovely,clean looking fish....1 lake even has a 40lb in it.

At the moment I'm eating alot of red meat in all my meals...
Breakfast consists of Museli and 1 Coffee.
Snacks are Nuts or a Protein Shake/Bar
Lunch consists of Steak/Mince/Vegetables and Rice.
Tea is more or less the same.
Plenty fluids also during the day...
I do have a cheat every other day and a Sunday is always a roast....
Exercise is walking the dog, Biking to work and Daily Stretching for about 30mins.
So far since November, I've lost just over a Stone.

I've had a few luggage bits that seem to do the job well, I couldn't find anything else that I thought would be better this time, I think I am going through a reorganising phase again.

I'm dreading going through all mine 🫣🫣, I've added n added past few months I've not been.

I went in the garage to find a mouse has destroyed part of my coolbag, including the zip and insulation , so that's [censored]ed
I looked at all the options and thought none of the top fishing ones really did the job I wanted which was house all the stove, gas, brew kit and toastie maker in the pockets and have enough space for food and drinks etc most seem to want you to have a seperate brew kit or don't allow all the options, so after much deliberation I saved some money and I've bought another ngt one for £20, the last one I had lasted years fitted all the brew kit in the external pockets leaving the big section free for food and drink, I've gone posh this time and gone camo 😂
I would go on a limb and say some of the NGT luggage is up there withbthe best....I've had the Small, Medium & Large Holdalls, Buzz Bar bag and never had 1 fault with any of them.

Hi guys just received my Avid Exo + bivvy, went to set it up today and it took almost 30mins to get the centre block to click into place once I'd fanned all the arms out. Went to put the 2 front arms in and they just wouldn't go! It's like the material is way too tight on the frame its ridiculous. By the looks of all the talk online it seems alot of people are having the same issues.
Wondering if any of you have had similar problems? Extremely disappointing, obviously no checks done prior to sending them out!
Thanks!
Every video I've seen doesn't show you putting up.or taking down, I bet that's 1 issue they realised after finishing the line/product.

I've not had a single positive yet, son n wife have and rest of family but not me.
Wife works for NHS in local hospital, also the local outpatient centre and various doctors around wigan.....so whatever injection she has/had, I've also had.
But I also think I have a good immune system, also my line of work is outdoors.

beanie hat, The latest versions have a removable light which means it can be washed and is also easily USB rechargeable which means you can charge it on the bank with a power bank. It's plenty good enough for landing a fish and then you can get the head torch out when the fish is landed.
I also have 1 these as a spare in my bag, quite warm to also.

Wait until after the freeze up..
why bother getting something going and then have to stop if there is a freeze
waste of time money and bait.
Was thinking same, would March time be a good time? I'm gonna go in with Particle to get some spots going/cleared, then introduce the pellets, then the Sticky Krill + Bio Marnie....hopefully give a good month about twice a week....but need to get down and also find some areas with the Marker Rod....

Also found out we're you can more or less fish....
The lake runs from 6ft (from the narrow bottom of picture) to around 16ft (to middle of the wider top of picture)...
How some of the Fishing Areas look...
The last picture is taken from the Left Red Dot, Middle area, on the above Map.
At the moment, Bait wise I'm at, 20kg Aller Aqua Pellets, around 60kg Bio Marine, 5kg Sticky Krill, 5kg DNA Slk....
What would be a good time to start up a Pre Baiting Campaign for Spring Time fishing ???

Got off a mate....
Sonik AXS Bivvy System & Overwrap
and 5kg Sticky Krill
Just looked at the Bivvy off my mate, and I forgot he got 1 of the 1st edition AXS bivvys......
when we were out on a session I noticed his Bivvy was alot lighter khaki green than mine, also he had no flaps over the rear zip windows, so we emailed sonik and didn't think nothing of it.....UNTIL
He gave me a box and it had in a full new AXS Bivvy System, without the frame, Skin, Panel, Door, Groundsheet the lot....
So now I've got a Sonik AXS Bivvy, with 2 skins to choose from, 2 lots of everything except Storm poles, and an overwrap.....if only I could get hold of an AXS frame I'd have 2 AXS bivvys.

I think it's as dear as some people make it, in which ever discipline you choose you have Budget, Middle n Top End tackle.
My Tackle I'm happy with now, but I'm gonna look for a Trakker Tempest 100/100T for my Day Fishing trips, night fishing I'll keep my Tempest 200.
Bait I'm now getting in Bulk.
Venue will be changing from next year, the 2 FREE Park Lakes (small & large) will be fished more.
New purchases

Don't think Sonik ever told any 1 about this, but they Cyamge there material on then1st edition bivvys, that's why I've ended up with 2 skins for the bivvy i got off a mate.
He bought his the week they came out.
The rear windows had no cover when rolled up.
When I got mine I noticed it.
So I contacted sonik and the sent him a full new Bivvy System Skin.
